Stretch marks.. 😩 oils, lotions or butters??

Question

Hiya everyone, 
With due date fast approaching (one month on Sunday 😬) I am developing stretch marks on my sides, around the belly button and just below. I use a belly butter in the morning and a vitamin E oil on the night, yet they are still showing up. I'm looking to see what I should use on them while they are in the red/purple angry looking phase or just carry on as I am and hope for the best 🤞. I'm guessing the worst ones are yet to come just before due date, so I'm hoping to prevent them as much as I can 🙊.
Thank you 💕

Answer

You can’t prevent stretch marks because it’s genetic. Stretch mark creams and oils only help reduce the appearance of them unfortunately.

Answer

I swear by oils, especially bio oil or any vitamin e oil. Even if you get stretch marks anyway they can help heal them

Answer

I’ve had stretch marks since puberty. I use palmers co co butter but doesn’t help too much if it’s already in your genetics. On the bright side a lot of them will fade after baby. Be proud of those tiger strips momma. 🖤

Answer

This is my third pregnancy and I have a tiny one on my stomach which is hard to notice but I have quite a bit on my butt, thighs and hips... I use Palmers very pregnancy too... I really think it’s a gene thing but who knows. 🤷🏻‍♀️ they do tend to be less noticeable once you’ve had the baby and lost your weight though.

Answer

Tummy butter is A-mazing!!

Answer

This is what I use every day. I used to work in a dermatology office before I had my first daughter and this is what the dermatologist always recommended. I made it through my first pregnancy without any stretch marks and so far I'm doing good this time around too 🤞🏻

Answer

Bio oil works so well on reducing the look of them. I also like vitamin e oil. I have seen to use a dermaroller over stretch marks too which I haven’t tried yet but bought one to start trying so that’s something to look into!

Answer

unfortunately I hadn’t had any up until recently too when they just appeared overnight. I’d tried all the drugstore lotions & oils directed towards scars & stretch marks.

Answer

Sudocrem! Sounds weird but helped me so much. My stretch marks have been so itchy and all the creams and butters I used only stopped the itching for around 10 minutes. Been putting sudocrem on for a week and they aren’t itchy now. I only apply the cream once a day now if I even need it. They aren’t so red and angry anymore either.

Answer

I use palmers with baby oil 😊 not one stretch mark
